I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land
Chapter 762 Detention
Seeing that the magistrate was trying to crawl towards him, King Ling kicked him to the ground.
He really didn't expect that this person could still be so stubborn even after all this evidence was placed in front of the prefect.
However, he saw the momentary fear of the magistrate just now, but he didn't know who he thought of just now, and he actually changed his attitude.
"If you haven't done it before, these people will wrongly accuse you for no reason?"
The prefect was kicked and he was stunned.
After coming back to his senses, he nodded again and again, "Your Highness, you must believe in me. I am really being slandered."
King Ling sneered, "Why should I believe you? Because of the floods all over Linxian County, or because of the thousands of people who have died?"
The prefect was shocked. He didn't expect Prince Ling to know so much.
Looking carefully at the blood book that fell to the ground, if King Ling hadn't understood these things, he might not have gotten the blood book.
The prefect gritted his teeth in his heart, these untouchables!Damn it!
Prince Ling had been staring at the magistrate just now. Seeing the ferocity in his eyes, he knew that he had no good intentions.
"Sun Jingshan, the magistrate of Linxian County, is a member of the Sun family. I wonder who you are, Sun Mingda, the Secretary of the Ministry of War?"
Sun Jingshan was worried and defensive just now, but now after hearing this, he knelt there stiffly and did not dare to move.
When King Ling saw this, he couldn't help but sneered.
"Someone, come and find out how many people were involved in this flood in our Lin County."
Seeing that the guards were ordered to leave, King Ling called him to stop.
"Don't be in a hurry, let someone in the know take you to get things done."
As he said that, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the Yamen servant who was kneeling on the ground.
"If anyone refuses to obey, behead him!"
As King Ling finished speaking, those who were still a little thoughtful just now had no other thoughts on this matter.
The man in front of him now is Prince Ling, the emperor's younger brother.Killing them is easier than crushing an ant.
Since the prefect intends to make deals with those landlords and squires, why should they bear this responsibility for the prefect and those landlords?
After thinking for a moment, the yamen servant in the government office immediately stood up and followed the guard.
No matter what, they are just minions, and saving their lives is the most important thing.
The prefect was so angry that he saw that the yamen servants actually left with the guards.
King Ling saw all this and couldn't help but chuckle.
"What? Does the prefect still want to punish them?"
The magistrate lowered his head to cover up the gloom in his eyes.
"Hmph, do you dare? The magistrate knows it in his heart. But if you want to wait for them to come back to settle accounts, I'm afraid you won't have this chance."
Hearing this, the prefect suddenly raised his head.
Prince Ling waved his hand to the people around him, "Take them down."
The prefect saw the two guards holding him back unceremoniously, and then he truly realized that he was being targeted.
"Your Highness, you cannot take Xiaguan away. Xiaguan was wrongly accused."
When King Ling saw that the prefect still dared to speak harshly about the matter, his face suddenly darkened.
"You still dare to cry out for injustice. Just because thousands of people died in Linxian County without reporting the matter, I will punish you a thousand times!"
Prince Ling always looked as if he was fresh in spring breeze, but when the Holy Emperor raised his troops, it was Prince Ling who was sitting at the rear.
The moment the pressure on Prince Ling was released, the prefect's voice was stuck in his throat.
When Pei Yuan saw King Ling like this, he unconsciously lowered his head slightly.
This period of time together almost made him forget the identity of the person in front of him.
Seeing the prefect being dragged out, Pei Yuan looked at Prince Ling.
"Your Highness, are you just going to lock him up like this?"
Prince Ling returned to his usual careless appearance, opening the folding fan and shaking it slightly.
"It's impossible to trap such a small fish, but I don't know how many big fish this small fish can catch."
Pei Yuan's eyebrows twitched, and he felt that King Ling had some evil intentions in locking up the prefect of Linxian County, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.
It wasn't until the night of the second day when he heard the guard report that Sun Jingshan had actually written a letter and had it delivered to the capital that Pei Yuan knew what was going on.
"Your Highness, this..."
"Don't worry, someone has already followed you, and this letter will appear on the imperial brother's case within three days."
When Pei Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
When everyone in the capital learned about what happened in Linxian County, they were panicked for a while.
Especially Sun Mingda, the Minister of War, learned that his nephew had been arrested by King Ling, so he went to Sima Mansion that night.
"Prime Minister, what should we do? Half of our things are here in Linxian County. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid..."
Sima Lian didn't expect that King Ling would go to a remote mountain village like Linxian, and he felt a little uneasy for a while.
The secret guard came to report before, saying that he had found traces of King Ling in Qingshui County.
Qingshui County is not very far from Linxian County. At that time, he was worried whether King Ling would notice Linxian County.
It's a pity that he was entangled in the incident between Rong Jiao and Murong Ting some time ago and did not have time to investigate the matter.
Unexpectedly, in just half a month, Prince Ling had arrived in Linxian County.
Thinking of this, Sima Lian couldn't help but tighten his fingers a little.
If Prince Ling arrests the prefect of Lin County, he may have noticed something.
"What's going on? Prince Ling was in Qingshui County before, why did he go to Lin County?"
Sun Mingda looked a little unnatural when he heard this.
"The lower official heard that the landowners and gentry in Linxian County arbitrarily blocked the river for the sake of their fields, and also arbitrarily diverted the flood into the people's fields. As a result, thousands of people were injured and killed, and the people's food and fields were also destroyed..."
Sun Mingda's voice became smaller and smaller, and he himself understood the absurdity of this matter.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Sima Lian's face darkened.
"Absurd! How could Prince Ling not know about such casualties?"
"There are also those landlords and gentry who have occupied hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Do you think you can hide it?"
Sun Mingda didn't dare to say anything, but thinking about his only nephew, he couldn't help but worry.
"Prime Minister, I have nothing to ask for, I just hope to save my nephew's life. If Prime Minister needs me in the future, I will be there without hesitation."
Although they were jointly involved in Linxian's affairs, Sun Mingda still expressed his attitude because he was worried that Sima Lian would not save Sun Jingshan.
Sima Lian couldn't help but sigh, and the jade ring on his thumb turned a little faster.
How could he not know what Sun Mingda was thinking?
But if something happens to Sun Jingshan, I'm afraid he will also be implicated.After all, he was involved in that mine in the first place...
After not waiting for Sima Lian's response for a long time, beads of sweat appeared on Sun Mingda's forehead.
Although he knew that Sima Lian would be involved if this matter was investigated, he was also afraid that Sima Lian would just ignore it.
After all, Sima Lian is the emperor's favorite. What to do with Sima Lian is not a matter of the emperor's words.
He really didn't expect that this person could still be so stubborn even after all this evidence was placed in front of the prefect.
However, he saw the momentary fear of the magistrate just now, but he didn't know who he thought of just now, and he actually changed his attitude.
